To be fair clefairy has one of the best trackrecords of all NFE's even becoming a top pick for VGC 2 gens ago for it's almost exclusive friend guard and follow Me. In singles it has a consistent niche in NU for being a reliable magic guard pokemon with wide utility movepool simalar to clefable and boasting simalar bulk with eviolite.
Why? There are plenty of NFE Pokemon that outclass other Pokemon like Haunter outclassing Dusknoir as an offensive ghost . Chansey outclassing Blissey, Kadabra being better than Mr Mime in Gen 1 This is really more common than most ppl believe it to be
@@Skeloperch Pokemon rarely ever makes their connections one-to-one. On the subject of Poochyena, people make the claim that its line is based off of hyenas because of their names, but there's pretty much nothing hyena about them.
This video came out at such a perfect time for me. Last week my American bulldog passed after a 3 year long battle with cancer, she was 10 years old which is very old for a bulldog. I also just got done shiny hunting Snubbull in Pokemon Platinum to commemorate her, so this vid feels very personal. Thanks for the great analysis and may my dog rest in peace
@@Cometstarlight Truth be told, all it would need would be buffs to it's defenses. But big ones, i'm not talking about 5-10 Points, i mean atleast 20 to special and/or physical. The Fairy typing is good and having play rough as your strongest stab is solid. Intimidate is good too, and while rattled and quick feet are good abilities especially rattled considering every type of attack that activates the ability gets resisted by granbull thanks to its Fairy typing, it's waaaay too slow to make use of either of those abilities. It would either need aforementioned defense buffs or easily 40 Points in Speed bringing it up to 85 base Speed rather than the meager 45 and would make the abilities usefull. But again, instead of going over board with the Speed stat, give it 20-25 points in either defense and 10-15 in the other maybe 5-10 more HP and it would be able to make use of its Intimidate. It having access to Earthquake and Fire Fang against steel types is also good as one can burn while the other just deals massive damage of off its decent 120 Base Attack, although i still don't get why it learns Outrage (atleast it makes more sense for Granbull to learn it than XERNEAS of all things lol) Also why the hell does it get Flamethrower, Fireblast AND Overheat? What's the background of those moves being learned by a fairy Dog lmao
I think it's from the small amount of black in Granbull's sprite. The gradient they do for every pokemon just makes it look green when it's fading to purple
I used Granbull in my first playthrough of Colosseum as a kid because i loved how it's cash register jaw looked when it got hit. This mon has always had a special place in my heart
@@SoggySlopster Imagine mega granbull being fairy and normal with access to both stabs (and increased stats of course). now that can be something it will benefit from
@@SoggySlopster I think the resistances and gaining the potential for type effectiveness makes up for the drop in power. We just need more physical fairy moves Ideally a Fairy Type Double Edge counterpart. Seriously there are exactly 2 physical fairy moves as of gen 8 one of which is currently a signature move. That is unacceptable. I hate how unbalanced the movepool diversity is >_
@@Dragrath1 The fact that we can't even get weak physical Fairy moves that would be used for only main game runs is ridiculous. Like sure, that wouldn't help competitive issues, but it would still be better just having to wait for Play Rough and pray that your physical Fairy types can pull weight with no STAB.
Aww, no snubbull? I was looking forward to how my favourite pupper 'mon fared in battle. In any case, pretty appropriate that granbull gets a video on Mothers' Day, I always liked granbull because it made me think of my grandmother, whom our family knew as Grandma Bull.
Grandbull's competitive carreer has been a very harsh roller coaster, going extremely quickly from very high to very low and finally ending at the lowest point
I love him but I've never used one yet That's why I like having all pokes available every game (at some point). It's cool to have so many options, you always have some new to try even after all these years.
Goes to show that even a type change can't really save a pokemon. If boosts aren't available to a pokemon or a decent move set... it'll get left behind
To buff Granbull, I’d invest more into its Bulk than anything, having lower SpD is fine, but it shouldn’t be so low. Having good HP can only get you so far. Def 75->95 (+20) SpA 60->80 (+20) SpD 60->80 (+20) BST 450->510 (+60) I didn’t realize how low it’s BST was, thought it was Atleast 470 or something...the buff of being a fairy type was great, and being a bulky fairytype with intimidate could be very interesting. These buffs give it some good physical bulk, while not making it SpD paper thin while also allowing it to run some special moves if they fit its coverage. Since it’s not in Gen 8, no telling what new moves it’s gotten or would have gotten, so let me just put some moves down that I think it would/should get: +Gunk shot +Iron head +High horsepower +Burning jealousy +Lash out +Misty explosion And as for abilities, having intimidate is amazing for support and swapping in, one of the best abilities out there. I don’t see it with any other abilities really, so if I had to replace them I was thinking of -thick fat -own Tempo -hustle -sheer force And those are some things I would change to make Granbull slightly better in competitive. This is slightly more of a doubles favor, but i guess you can’t be an intimidator without being compared and outclassed by Incineroar so eh...
I would probably lower the Sp.Atk to base 60, as a 510 BST is too much for a Pokémon that you get at Level 23 IMO. Or maybe raising the evolution level to Level 28+ would be better to account for the buffs.
Granbull: Why are you bullying me? Fighting Types: BECAUSE YOURE WEAK *2 generations later* Fighting Types: Oh look, it’s the dweeb again. Granbull: I just got a Fairy type. Wanna play Rough? Fighting Types: *EVACUATE THE HOUSE*
We need more videos to be published that have been delayed or ignored for a long time. I really love this channel, but this simple change could make this go from good to great.

Weekly Pokémon videos every Sunday are fine, sure, but why not branch out for once? Who’s with me?
You probably wont see this but I was wondering if for your next episode you could do a remake for Charizard, its been 2 gens and a lot has changed, it would also allow for a more in-depth view on this fire lizard. Especially with how you didn't really cover gens 3 or 5. Charizard is my favorite Pokémon of all time and I am a fan of your channel so seeing an improved version of the video would make my day.
Also, Gen 6 and 7 (i.e. Fairy) Snubbull was quite a threatening defensive mon in Little Cup for the same qualities as Granbull easecially in the earlier generations: Intimidate, Heal Bell and TWave gave it enough utility and Play Rough was dangerous there as well.
Sonbull: Granny, tell me when you were reliable? Granbull: Oh, sonny. I've only been reliable a few times in my life Sonbull: What a disappointment Granbull: No, plea- Sonbull: Too late , you had your chance.
I know that it's not talking about a specific Pokémon, but I think a look at the Mono-Type format would be interesting, just going from one type to another.
I'll never forget getting shadow Granbull in Colosseum and then using it on my cartridge of Emerald after beating the game. I guess Granbull had 3 type swaps because of that game lol
I have very little idea what any of this means but I love pokemon so these videos are great to listen to in the background while im doing other stuff, like cross stitching every single starter!
Gen 2 granbull was a perfect summarisation of the meta game. Everything had rest talk Everything had leftovers Everything had curse Snorlax made a lot of pokemon unviable
Did we have a community tab vote for this? Also, I wanna see those Bronzong and Hippowdon videos that were stated to be “in production” in the community tab from like 4 months ago.
It is interesting how a Pokémon like Clefable became a competitive powerhouse while Granbull got nothing. Both have relatively lack luster base stats but their abilities makes the big difference.
I gave a Pokemon trainer OC of mine a Grandbul as his Pokemon he like to ride on and I fell in love with this dog ever since. It's a little sad to see Pokemon you love not the best in competitive but these rules don't mean too much for art and story telling. It's still fascinating to see and insightful.
Hoping for a Snubbul vid soon. It actually was a pretty decent but niche pick in Gen 7 LC as a fighting check and it utilized Berry Juice and thief to stay healthy and remove items. Really fun mon that glued together teams well
The only pokemon that became fairy types in gen6 not covered by FSG are Whimsicott and Audino(it didn't become a fairy type in gen 6 but it gained a mega evolution im gen 6 and the mega is Normal/Fairy). And I doubt he'll do Arceus anytime soon.
No LC coverage? I can speak a little bit about it, at least, then In Gen 4/5, Snubbull was not all that good, except on the rare Trick Room team. There it wasn't that bad though; in Gen 4, it swapped between Oran Berry and Life Orb in Gen 4 depending on which it wanted, longevity or more damage; longevity was generaly preferred as Snubbull was more bulky than super offensive, Intimidate helped it a lot here. It had pretty good coverage, too, with Return/EQ/Crunch/Ice Punch! In Gen 5, it loved Eviolite and the (at the time) scarcity of Knock Off. In Gen 6, when it got its Fairy typing, it actually became pretty good on most teams as a physical check; it loved the newly-unbanned Berry Juice over Eviolite thanks to Intimidate, and was a more offensive option over the defensive Spritzee. Its movepool was great, and it was the FIghting-type check of choice for more offensive teams.
The Jotho pokedex is almost done as well. I believe there are stll 5 left, I looked it up. All that is left are: Noctowl, Lanturn, Octillery, Giraffarig and Magarco. Let's all do are best to help FSG finish Jotho, okay? Edit: Sorry, I forgot Corsola and Ursaring.
Competitive Career: Granbull’s seen a lot in his time. He’s been a threat on offensive and defensive teams. He’s had competition, he’s been outclassed, and he’s been untiered. He’s seen highs and lows and he’s satisfied with that. This old dog has learned new and old tricks.
I wonder... How good was Zangoose actually? It’s an extremely powerful normal type with swords dance and so many coverage moves. It could even run special attacking sets with many coverage moves for its special attack as well as physical.
The way I'd buff Granbull would be to give it a 20 base buff to Defense, Strong Jaw as hidden ability (if it doesn't have it yet, because I have no idea if it has it already) plus a new Fairy-type bite move (idk, "Fairy Fang or something). That way it can keep Intimidate and have a pretty good physical bulk, or switch to a more offensive strategy.

These buffs give it some good physical bulk, while not making it SpD paper thin while also allowing it to run some special moves if they fit its coverage.
Since it’s not in Gen 8, no telling what new moves it’s gotten or would have gotten, so let me just put some moves down that I think it would/should get:
+Gunk shot
+Iron head
+High horsepower
+Burning jealousy
+Lash out
+Misty explosion
And as for abilities, having intimidate is amazing for support and swapping in, one of the best abilities out there. I don’t see it with any other abilities really, so if I had to replace them I was thinking of
-thick fat
-own Tempo
-hustle
-sheer force
And those are some things I would change to make Granbull slightly better in competitive. This is slightly more of a doubles favor, but i guess you can’t be an intimidator without being compared and outclassed by Incineroar so eh...
I would probably lower the Sp.Atk to base 60, as a 510 BST is too much for a Pokémon that you get at Level 23 IMO. Or maybe raising the evolution level to Level 28+ would be better to account for the buffs.

I know that it's not talking about a specific Pokémon, but I think a look at the Mono-Type format would be interesting, just going from one type to another.
False swipe did that with ice types a few years back
@@thomasborta6559 he probably needs a guest to help with it. Talking about a typing in a whole video is a lot to cover
How good were the gen 5 fossils actually
Attempt #20
Go to the community tab to vote for the next Pokémon.
@@Wizard_Lizard_ Look 3 months ago
@@Elitus Did he start deleting after? Or is the voting done differently now?
@@Wizard_Lizard_ I think Bronzong won the poll over a year ago and we still have not seen that one.
@@Wizard_Lizard_ I think they don't do the polls because they have enough voted Pokemons for a while
I’ve always named my granbulls , “Grandma’s bull”
i love these obscure gen 2 pokemon, do ursaring or girafaring next!
Yea FSG, please do Ursaring. I know Hoenn Ursaring was made in Blazing Emerald, but that was not legit. I want Johto Ursaring please???
I'll never forget getting shadow Granbull in Colosseum and then using it on my cartridge of Emerald after beating the game. I guess Granbull had 3 type swaps because of that game lol
I have very little idea what any of this means but I love pokemon so these videos are great to listen to in the background while im doing other stuff, like cross stitching every single starter!
Gen 2 granbull was a perfect summarisation of the meta game.
Everything had rest talk
Everything had leftovers
Everything had curse
Snorlax made a lot of pokemon unviable
Fun fact: in competitive gen2 Granbull would occasionally run Heal Bell and Rest and Sleep talk to become a cleric with strong attack.
Did we have a community tab vote for this? Also, I wanna see those Bronzong and Hippowdon videos that were stated to be “in production” in the community tab from like 4 months ago.
Might as well wait until the new games come out tbh.
@@EruditoGaming Especially since the remakes/Legends are coming. Who knows, we might see them revamped one way or another.
Bronzong and Hippowdon probably have a lot to be covered with especially Bronzong
Lots of formats to cover especially in VGC
It is interesting how a Pokémon like Clefable became a competitive powerhouse while Granbull got nothing. Both have relatively lack luster base stats but their abilities makes the big difference.
clefable learns half the moves in the game
I gave a Pokemon trainer OC of mine a Grandbul as his Pokemon he like to ride on and I fell in love with this dog ever since. It's a little sad to see Pokemon you love not the best in competitive but these rules don't mean too much for art and story telling. It's still fascinating to see and insightful.
Hoping for a Snubbul vid soon. It actually was a pretty decent but niche pick in Gen 7 LC as a fighting check and it utilized Berry Juice and thief to stay healthy and remove items. Really fun mon that glued together teams well
It needs an evolution where it turns into a 3 headed dog, that would be very cool
10 more Pokémon until gen 2 is done
I've never been this early. Love you false💜
I enjoyed using granbull on my playthrough of gold. He was quite good. I think his set was return, shadow ball, thunder punch, and ice punch
Cant wait for BKC to narrate the 3-hour landorus video in both its forms
3 hours per generaration per form?
Granbull was one of my all time team members whenever I played Silver. I'd just slap all the elemental punchs on it and then crunch.
all those moves were special back then
Earthquake on a fairy type is such good coverage
Gen 5: You get. . . NOTHING. You LOSE. Good day sir!
You should start making videos on how to use every Pokémon in competitive like what stats and stuff are best
I always wanted Granbull to get covered and you fulfilled my wish...Thanks Fsg
The only pokemon that became fairy types in gen6 not covered by FSG are Whimsicott and Audino(it didn't become a fairy type in gen 6 but it gained a mega evolution im gen 6 and the mega is Normal/Fairy). And I doubt he'll do Arceus anytime soon.
Granbull: mom always said I had a big heart
No LC coverage? I can speak a little bit about it, at least, then
In Gen 4/5, Snubbull was not all that good, except on the rare Trick Room team. There it wasn't that bad though; in Gen 4, it swapped between Oran Berry and Life Orb in Gen 4 depending on which it wanted, longevity or more damage; longevity was generaly preferred as Snubbull was more bulky than super offensive, Intimidate helped it a lot here. It had pretty good coverage, too, with Return/EQ/Crunch/Ice Punch! In Gen 5, it loved Eviolite and the (at the time) scarcity of Knock Off.
In Gen 6, when it got its Fairy typing, it actually became pretty good on most teams as a physical check; it loved the newly-unbanned Berry Juice over Eviolite thanks to Intimidate, and was a more offensive option over the defensive Spritzee. Its movepool was great, and it was the FIghting-type check of choice for more offensive teams.
7:39 some god tier acting by Kellen I flinched
Why I still watch videos on competitive Pokémon despite never touching showdown or a Pokémon game in two years is beyond me
The Jotho pokedex is almost done as well. I believe there are stll 5 left, I looked it up.
All that is left are: Noctowl, Lanturn, Octillery, Giraffarig and Magarco. Let's all do are best to help FSG finish Jotho, okay?
Edit: Sorry, I forgot Corsola and Ursaring.
I didn't know this guy had 120 Attack... I thought he was one of those "everything under 90" Pokémon.
We hit the johto dex milestone with vullaby, 386 is the hoenn milestone
Competitive Career: Granbull’s seen a lot in his time. He’s been a threat on offensive and defensive teams. He’s had competition, he’s been outclassed, and he’s been untiered. He’s seen highs and lows and he’s satisfied with that. This old dog has learned new and old tricks.
I wonder... How good was Zangoose actually?
It’s an extremely powerful normal type with swords dance and so many coverage moves. It could even run special attacking sets with many coverage moves for its special attack as well as physical.
being outclassed by clefairy of all things must be a fate worse than death
The way I'd buff Granbull would be to give it a 20 base buff to Defense, Strong Jaw as hidden ability (if it doesn't have it yet, because I have no idea if it has it already) plus a new Fairy-type bite move (idk, "Fairy Fang or something). That way it can keep Intimidate and have a pretty good physical bulk, or switch to a more offensive strategy.
10 Gen 2 are left:
Corsola/Galarian Corsola/Cursola
Girafarig
Lanturn
Magcargo
Mantine
Noctowl
Octillery
Stantler
Sunflora
Ursaring
5 minute Sunflora video let’s go
Should have been a Fairy/ Fighting type gen 6 onwards
It is in radical red. It also has strong jaw and bull rush in that game
Granbull's jaw at 4:52 tho! What the heck
If only Granbull had a little bit more bulk and a higher speed tier. It would make this mon a lot better. That and maybe some recovery.
Since it's Mother's Day, how GREAT was Kangaskhan actually
That was done already. ruclips.net/video/ZVek5akFLIM/видео.html
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 I'm saying a remake of the video
